When the Malediction lost the utility highslot and dropped down to only three usable hardpoints, it lost its lovely symmetry.

As you can see, the first and third hardpoint covers the sides, nice symmetry and all. Sadly the second and fourth (now removed) hardpoint is the cross-axis shoulder-mounted hardpoints that work if you can fit both, but look asymmetric and ugly if you cannot.

My plea to you CCP, is that you swap places on the hardpoints for 3 & 4, or any other solution to achieve the same goal, so you could yet again get your turrets or launchers symmetrically mounted on the hull.

I fixed it internally and it might or might not make it for the point release.

Yes, yes, yes...

And while you're at it, the Vengeance could really use some symmetry love as well.

Could we also brush off one of the turret hardpoint wells on the front and back of the Hyperion and slide the adjacent one into the middle?

Vengeance already has symmetry.

Why would it not? Surely such a simple change. Why wait many more months for it.

Can we get confirmation that it has been fixed in Rubicon 1.1.

This is so true on multiple ships.

Ships that have this problem that come to mind are e.g. the Drake and Cormorant. The models of the ships have more bases for turrets / launchers, but yet the amount of high slots or turret / launcher slots available doesnt match the model.

I dont mind if the high slot amounts stay the same, I just wish that the external weapon bays would be symmetrical and all occupied (just cosmetic). This has been bugging me since the day I started EVE.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else think it looks kind of badass like that. Minor asymmetry is OK. Weird stuff like the Condor and the Moa is not.

Symmetry is boring. All scary things are asymmetrical.
